I do a C4 drink about 30 minutes before working out and it makes a huge difference. Can really push myself.

Pushups / bodyweight exercises just not the same.

I always lifted free weights and doubted machines. I started 4 min the ago on a bowflex(the ones with the resistance rods and holy crap, my gains at 52 are incredible. I can do anything I could with free weights (it's the one with lat and leg attatchment). I can't use free weights due to neck and back injuries and this is much faster and safer. I can 18 sets for a body part in 30 mins or until pain drops me.

I'll post pics as soon as the remaining freaking 10 pounds of stubborn ass bodyfat goes. It's nowhere else except the very very bottom of stomach and infuriating because I have abs on top of it showing. Must be age.

If your diet is on point, just be patient with it. That's always the first place it goes and the last place it leaves.

I will look forward to the pics when ready. I am mostly free weights, but I am over 60 so it is crazy hard to get back gains that are lost - especially with 5 months of no lifting. Does it take up much room/ easy to set up? Not cheap at $1500 (unless the $2000+ model).

You're a beast dude. That is in the range of a 20 something who works out.

The newer ones use a different resistance method and take less space.

It was almost 2 decades since I lifted. The muscles do have memory.
Get your testosterone checked by your doctor. I am preaching on here because my levels tested low. .the doctor put me on Testosterone replacement therapy. I am doing the injections of testosterone cypianate. Those patches and gels are shit.
Makes you like 18 again, in more ways than one.

Well people. Started with symptoms couple days ago and getting tested tomorrow for our lovely Virus.

Not good if I have it but maybe it's something else. Freaks me out because of diabetes. Just a bad cold.....just a bad cold....
